I think the listed fixes in this beta are also quite noteworthy, beyond the SC:BL update. There are many which are not just game-specific:=================================Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 Fixed Issues----------------------------------------------------------Some 27" 1440p monitors with Korean B grade panels are not detected.

True, I didn't list that section -- I missed it while scanning the document, thinking that I had seen all the latest fixes. A bit confusing that the PDF shows gaming fixes, then gaming fixes for 325 series drivers, then back to 326.80 application fixes, then on to a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, use the drivers as you see fit. :-)Reply

"it’s available for all the major platforms—PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, along with PC. Obviously you don’t need the new drivers for any of the consoles, and if it’s like other recent Ubisoft titles you’ll need to play it through Ubisoft’s Uplay service. (Cue the groaning.)"

I know a lot of people cringe at these publisher-required login/DRM schemes, but the big takeaway from it is that it is actually releasing same day as consoles and PC gamers aren't being treated as 2nd-class gaming citizens by Ubisoft anymore. If Uplay was required to give Ubisoft the peace of mind to release their games on PC in a timely manner, so be it, necessary evil, imo.Reply
